• The story in the September 18 edition of the Hook, "Pork politics: Warner says a mouthful in Scottsville," stated that Fifth District congressional candidate Tom Perriello's (D) national security policy put emphasis on combating global warming. However, Perriello's plan has more to do with energy independence than global warming. As Perriello put it in an August 13 debate in Charlottesville, "The issue of climate change and energy security is probably our number one national security threat," and in a September 3 debate in Danville, he stressed the need for "complete independence from foreign oil in 10 years."
